Aquanatal
Aquanatal is a pregnancy fitness programme in Son Macià, at Carrer Gerani 21 and the Freedom Spa. Sessions run on Tuesdays and Thursdays in a warm pool, with many women starting from week 6 and continuing to week 39. Midwives lead small groups through breathing, movement and birth-preparation work; after birth there are also postpartum and baby-swimming classes. Payment is by full month or half month, and companions can watch from outside the pool.
Frequently Asked Questions
When can I start Aquanatal during pregnancy?
According to several reviews, participants start very early, sometimes as early as weeks 6, 7, 8 or 9 of pregnancy. Others join later, around weeks 12, 13, 14 or even 30. The classes are therefore used at different stages of pregnancy.
Which days do the classes run?
Reviews repeatedly mention Tuesdays and Thursdays for Aquanatal. One reviewer specifically names those two days. As schedules can change, it is best to check the current timetable on the Freedom Wellness website or call +34 971 00 80 08 before planning your visit.
Do I need to book Aquanatal in advance?
Reviews indicate that places are not always available on the spot. Several participants therefore recommend booking ahead, especially if you want a fixed place on a specific day. You can arrange this via https://freedomwellness.es/actividades/aquanatal/ or by phone on +34 971 00 80 08.
Can I continue after birth with Aquanatal?
Yes, several reviews mention postnatal options as well as baby swimming or baby water sessions. One review describes monthly baby classes, while another says they attend every Sunday for baby swimming. There are also references to special baby sessions with first dives and learning to hold onto the pool edge.
What do the classes help with during pregnancy?
Reviews mainly mention breathing exercises, movement work, relaxation and birth preparation. Several participants say the last 15 minutes of the session are dedicated to the so-called “birthing room” or birth-prep work. Aquanatal is also described as a warm-water setting that helps create a feeling of lightness.
Is Aquanatal suitable if I have pregnancy discomforts?
Several reviews mention that the classes are used for sciatica, back pain, swelling and fluid retention. The warm water is often described as making movement easier. If you have symptoms, it is sensible to speak to the class team or your midwife beforehand.
What facilities are included at Aquanatal?
One review says Aquanatal takes place at the Freedom Spa and that membership includes access to the gym whenever you want. A warm pool is also mentioned. Another reviewer notes that companions or family members can watch the session from outside the pool area.
